Finished in what was called "smoke chrome" which doesn't look all that bad with the somewhat polished controls. I ended up with both sides set at #2, but what I really like is they're about and inch or more in length from stock and quite a bit wider in the middle where you tend to grab them. Think I'm going to like using them...at least so far I do.  cooldude

    Some years back I'd decided that the old original levers were NOT compatible with my arthritis. I bought some wider levers that were a straight up remove and replace. Do Not recall the name of the levers or the supplier. BUT I are happy with the wider levers!  cooldude Did you install new bushings with the new levers??  coolsmiley RIDE SAFE.

They come with new bushings installed & the clutch side I had already replaced the bushing the piston rod fits in. After my ride yesterday, it became evident the clutch operates easier with the good flushing I gave it and the longer/wider levers. Before it was a real bear to pull the clutch in, the longer lever helps but good fluid made a difference even before the new levers were delivered. Really strange...it was new fluid from the start but apparently got contaminated from something in the system. Still want to flush the rear brakes but have to figure out how I'm going to jack that big ass up enough to pull the back wheels.  Wink
